So much for my decision to blog at least once a day! Am writing today only because I love my new Apple Wireless Keyboard and I can't keep my hands off it!

Upgraded seamlessly to Tiger (Mac OS X - 10.4.1) two days ago. Am a bit disappointed with the Widgets but anyway, this is what my Dashboard looks like ...



Spotlight is a marvel of software engineering and there are also a bunch of other Finder-level improvements and rewrites that are great! Am also evaluating Apple's Mail software and have until tomorrow to decide whether I will ditch Eudora or not. Eudora has announced that they are converting the application from Carbon to Cocoa and will deliver a new version in Fall 2005, featuring Spotlight integration, WebKit HTML display/authoring, and other cool stuff.

Finished reading Kamila Shamsie's "Broken Verses" a few weeks ago and am now in the middle of "The Turning Point" by Fritjof Capra, and "The Elephant and the Flea" by Charles Handy.

Was invited to a reading by Zehra Nigah a few weekends ago - just a handful of people at someone's house. Was phenomenal to sit at her feet and listen to her recitations as well as some great stories about Jon Elia and other poets. Had a blast. Then, a few days ago, had dinner with Ardeshir Cowasjee and discussed the curse of the Clifton Cross, urban planning, architecture, media, politics, etc. He's a real character and it was a pleasure spending a few hours with him.

NEVER FOLLOW THE HERD!
